The Ciné-Trio celebrates its twentieth anniversary with a double concert on the themes of Paris and love in the cinema

Adapter of Ennio Morricone, John Williams, Vladimir Cosma and Joe Hisaishi, the Ciné-Trio gives two concerts at the Temple de Belleville in Paris on Saturday February 3.

For twenty years Philippe Barbey-Lallia (piano and arrangement), Timothé Oudinot (oboe and English horn), and Cyril Baleton (violin) have adapted the greatest film music composers and cinema standards for their Ciné-Trio.

They will be at the Temple des Batignolles in Paris for two concerts, Saturday February 3 around films dedicated to Paris and love.

Inventiveness and humility

We can imagine the work of adaptation and reorchestration that symphonic scores written for the cinema must require. Often designed for groups of 30 to 80 musicians and choirs, reducing such scale to three or four instruments requires inventiveness and humility. Philippe Barbey-Lallia, on piano and arrangements, has no shortage of talent to achieve this, turning diamonds into musical pearls.

With a repertoire of 450 titles and 800 concerts to date, the Ciné-Trio will celebrate the evocation of Paris in films, with pieces from from An American in Paris by George Gershwin, Last metro by Georges Délerue, Fabulous destiny of Amélie Poulain by Yann Tiersen, orHugo Cabret by Howard Shore, among the expected pieces.

Dramatic music

What would Paris be without love, subject of a second concert given in continuation of the first, where extracts from Casablanca by Max Steiner, by West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein, Umbrellas of Cherbourg by Jacques Demy, or by Out of Africa by John Barry.

The orchestration brought back to the piano, the oboe, the English horn and the violin, gives a new light to themes that are sometimes famous, others less known, but all inhabited by this dramaturgy specific to film music. The old stones of the Temple des Batignolles provide a setting and acoustics that should serve the performers. All music written for cinema tells stories, that of the Ciné-Trio is enriched by a beautiful 20^e birthday to which we wish many others.
